chucknoitall Sconi, don't forget the most all-encompassing answer to suffering: the Resurrection. It matters not if anyone, or millions or billions die, because the Almighty can bring them back to life without the cause of death. They can be restored to full health, but...

I believe there is a god personally, and love and worship him.. How many of you believe in him? What are your views on him?

chucknoitall If there is no God, no Creator, then there is no real hope for us, because we need hope. If there is a divine energy with no mind or purpose, then where did we come from? Did we come from hairy, flea-covered beasts climbing out of the trees? There is far, far...

History Alert!!!! The mouse was originally named the XY Position Indicator through the years it has now been commonly known as the Mouse. So I ask myself, "Why is it called a mouse?" Share your thoughts! ^_^

chucknoitall Oh, I don't know about that... Today we have kids playing games that make killing, theft, gratuitous violence and revenge a form of entertainment (GTA). The "Goth" would think that a rat would be a cool object of affection, like the crow, because they are...

chucknoitall It's true that the cable makes the mouse seem backwards, but it would take too much work to turn it around. To make it look like a mouse, with the buttons like ears, the wheel between the eyes, and the nose at the end, would be interesting, but it would...

So ive posted a couple of comments about my friend and I and now i really need to know if i look fat. Be brutal and honest, I mean this swimsuit used to fit, so I know i've gained some, but how bad is it? Is it bad for...

chucknoitall I'm glad you're not my friend-you'd just tell me to get off my fat a## and do something. There are better ways to phrase replies without a comment that hits like a sledgehammer. Maybe you need sensitivity classes. Or, at least, think about how it feels to have...

do you like a thick crust pizza or a thin crusted pizza? me, i like the classic thick crust. it's more filling. actually, i wonder why the thin crust pizza ever came about.

chucknoitall I'm not a real expert. Look to Ataca for that. She has a much more creative mind for pizza. I just know what I like, and why. There are a few places in town that make a really good pizza with an authentic brick oven, but they are hard to find because it is so...

I can't seem to find the reason why the keyboard (computer keyboard) is like this. I mean, I kinda feel comfortable with it but, something is weird... It is not alphabetically arrange. Don't you feel it very strange we type and...

chucknoitall You got it, ATG! I realize some people still have a hard time with the internet, but there are a multitude of sources to find information. Someone who commented even found a different source than wikipedia to get their information from. That's impressive,...

What new thing have you seen that impresses you? I am a fan of Sci-Fi books, and I see a recurring theme in the ShadowRun series concerning smaller and smaller computers, and have seen hints of this technology in commercials and...

chucknoitall The clear cube is something sci-fi writers call an example of crysalline memory storage technology. We can't make it happen today, because we can't build a crystalline object at a molecular level that uses light playing along the molecule chains to display...

chucknoitall Maybe it's just because I have been typing for 13 years, but if I had a keyboard that was alphabetically arranged, I would probably be back to the "stone ages" of typing, the "hunt and peck" style. Not just because I am unconsciously aware of the key...

chucknoitall You're absolutely right. There may have been other configurations trying to get into production, but this one was more successful. To separate it from the others, they called it QWERTY because of the top row letter keys on the left. The wikipedia article about...

chucknoitall You got it, berrys! Some techniques in typewriter class have been covering the hands on the keyboard with a cloth, so the student couldn't see the keyboard and ruin the touch-typing skill building. The whole point of fast typing is to know where the keys are,...

chucknoitall That's true, because the old Smith Corona electrics still had not eliminated that problem. When I was in a typing class more than 20 years ago, we had to use Smith Corona electrics, which had the dozens of character bars. At times, it seemed like we were at a...

chucknoitall Hey, Sophie-what is the layout like? There must be a lot of different groups of letters that we don't see in the QWERTY. What are the letter layouts in the rows above the spacebar? I've never had a chance to see, much less use, a different keyboard, so I would...

chucknoitall Thanks, Sophie! The only problem, Taki, is that the information came from Wikipedia. The information has to be verified by other sites, not just because it is one site, but because the site has no interest in keeping staff that verify information that is...

chucknoitall You're welcome, abhichat! Any way we look at it, it takes some effort to be able to type fast, as in, practice, practice, practice. Visiting a great discussion board like this would take care of that quickly. Regardless if we had an alphabetic, QWERTY or...

chucknoitall But we, as thinking, reasoning beings, know that if God was within us, eventually the power of God would have been tapped in some way by us, so that we would be using it for selfish reasons, at first, anyway. Eventually, we would rise above selfish and fleshly...
